3D Printing Finish: Varnishing

General information

Varnishing

Multicolor
materials
can be varnished once they have been cleaned up and solidified. The
excess bits of powder which can not be removed by hand are removed
with pressurized air. The object is then dunked in a cyanoacrylate
bath, which further solidifies the object and brings out the colors
a bit more. Your object is coated with a
varnish
which makes it more resistant to humidity and chocs, and
gives it a shiny appearance.

Technical specificities

The maximum size for varnishing your models is only limited by the physical
size of our 3D printers. Your designs must respect the maximum print
size in order to be printed.

Multicolor maximum size

254 x 381 x 203 mm

Plastic maximum size

677 x 368 x 565 mm

In order to be printed, the multicolor objects must also follow the minimum size
of 2 x 2 x 2 mm, and plastic objects must not go under the minimum
size of 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 mm.

Delivery time

The varnishing
process adds
no additional business days
to the turnaround time on your
parts. The painting process however adds
two additional business days
to the turnaround time on your
parts and
another additional day
to add the varnish to have a "
Glossy
" finish. This means:

Express Production: not available.

Standard production: minimum 5-6 business days for the plastic
material, 2 to 4 for multicolor.

Economy Production: the delivery time is not guaranteed. Your object
is delivered on average within ten days for plastic.
